B&B Signs Ramones-core Trio, The New Rochelles – New Album Coming Soon
We are super excited to announce the signing of Long Beach, NY’s Ramones-core geniuses, The New Rochelles, and the upcoming release of their debut album, It’s New!. The trio – comprised of Ronnie Rochelle, Ricky Rochelle, and Rookie Rochelle – have built a solid reputation for themselves by concocting addictive Queers-esque pop punk using catchy songwriting, flawless harmonies, and tight rhythms. They encompass everything a fan of The Ramones, Teenage Bottle Rocket, and Screeching Weasel could want in a young, new band: tons of hooks, down-stroked powerchords, and to-the-point mini-anthems about leather jackets, monsters, and getting into trouble. There are also some “1-2-3-4!”’s.
It’s New! will be released this summer on vinyl and digital download via Bright & Barrow. Details and pressing info will be announced soon, but in the meantime the album’s first single, “This Is My LJ,” can be streamed HERE!
Great Review of New H&R EP From Jersey Beat
Hey everyone, check out this fun review of the the new Hunters & Runners EP, I Was The Ghost, from Jersey Beat. Here it is…
Released as a free download on Halloween weekend, Hunters & Runners’ new EP brings a fresh jazzy vibe to the NYC indie scene. The music-hall tone of “Meet Your Maker” suggests what the Gay Blades might sound like without the snarkiness, while “Knife” has an almost Steely Dan like jazz groove. I really like the final track, “The Ghost,” with its layered harmony vocals and propulsive melody. This band borrows a lot of tropes from Sixties pop but makes it all sound quite modern, a neat trick. Mostly this 3-song treat makes me eager to see them live.

Hunters & Runners Release FREE EP, “I Was The Ghost,” To Celebrate All Hallows Eve
NEW YORK, NY – The true Halloween festivities begin after the last partygoer passes out and the final trick-or-treater goes to bed. It is only then that the real ghouls and goblins emerge from their dark realm and turn our sleeping streets into their playground.
For one night a year, these mischievous spirits get to dance on our rooftops, run rampant under the moonlight, and cartwheel through the cemeteries. It is the most exclusive event of the year…but like any good party, it needs a soundtrack.
On their brand new free EP, I Was The Ghost (released October 27 on Bright & Barrow Records), New York City’s Hunters & Runners once again teamed up with producer Chris Howard (Of Classic Renown) to serve up 3 bone-chilling songs that are perfect for this annual celebration of the twisted and macabre.
The three tracks, “Meet Your Maker,” “Knife,” and “The Ghost” throw listeners into a dark nightmare where they are forced to trudge through The River Styx with the Grim Reaper, meet demons and homicidal psychopaths, and of course clean up after bloody, gruesome murders. However, despite the brutality, all of the songs are neatly wrapped up in the tight musicianship, extensive harmonies, and anthemic choruses listeners have come to expect from Hunters & Runners.
Any phantom and/or zombie looking to bring their death to life this Halloween will surely find I Was The Ghost to be a welcomed addition to their playlist. It’s loud, it’s fast, it’s dark, and it’s catchy as hell (the Devil himself actually confirmed this fact…this EP does contain the same approximate level of “catchiness” as Hell).
Oh, and it’s FREE! Get it HERE!
